The MMA Outsider: Episode 69

Bellator's Season 7 heavyweight tournament kicks off on Oct. 5, and after breaking down the matchups, John and Richard interview tournament participant Mark Holata. Holata came up short in the last heavyweight competition, but bounced back with a win over Abe Wagner. Now he will face UFC veteran Vinicius Queiroz to begin the race to replace retiring champion Cole Konrad.

Also on the show, Richard and John take a look at the UFC on FX 5 event, featuring a heavyweight clash between Travis Browne and Antonio Silva and a flyweight title eliminator pitting John Dodson against Jussier "Formiga" da Silva.
